Scythe Robotics is building M52 into commercial mowing fleets

Scythe Robotics announced a new generation of M52 on May 15, 2024, adding a 25 percent battery-capacity increase, redesigned control panel, and field-tested durability before peak mowing season.

Scythe said dozens of companies and municipalities were deploying M52 during the 2024 mowing season. The update also cut charging time in half, according to the company.

The new control panel uses bar-style controls and a large touchscreen for mower status and settings. The companion app supports Mow Zone management and settings changes from outside the mower, giving crews a way to supervise autonomous mowing at property edges and variable job sites.

Scythe was founded in Boulder by Jack Morrison, Isaac Roberts, and Davis Foster. The company’s product focus is commercial landscaping, where crews work across outdoor terrain, changing weather and site boundaries, and still need to trim, edge and handle exceptions.
